I feel like that was a freakin terrible half, yet we have the lead. and we all know this is a 2nd half team.

hopefully that trend continues

Well, Lance went to the company line in his comments to Brooke.

Also teams have learned that he is not effective going left

The worst thing that could happen to Lance is that he leaves us after this season and gets paid huge money by some team like Milwaukee or some **** and never completes his Jedi training under Bird and the other masters in our organization.

Yes, I just compared Lance's career arc to that of Luke Skywalker.

The New Orleans game was Roy's triple double. He got 11 blocks in that game and Lopez had his shot blocked 8 times.

I'd bet just about anything that he will be driving and dishing in the second half.

To be honest, the Blazers are Icing most PnRs and thus it's not easy to drive the ball against them.

That said, Lance should try to shoot a little more. Especially in the play that he got called for the travel, he should have shot it. He only travelled because he stopped in order to pass.

Yes, I just compared Lance's career arc to that of Luke Skywalker thus far.

My worst fear when we signed George Hill to that contract was that it would prevent us from resigning Lance.

I agree with you. Indiana is the PERFECT situation for Lance. I feel like some team is going to throw a lot of money at him and we might lose him. If he does leave, I can see him having a Larry Hughes type career.

I still think that Hill's contract is extremely reasonable. Fair market value, imo.

I don't think its a bad contract, I feel he is slightly overpaid.

That being said, I feel Lance is a lot more important to the future of this team than Hill is.

Brooke just mentioned that there are 2 Pacer fans that were very loud sitting her her. I wonder if it's MrHale, Tha Hoya or efHead. They showed the Pacer fans on TV..looked like they were being questioned by security :lol:

Re: 12/2/2013 Game Thread #18: Pacers Vs. Blazers

I guess what I'd like to see the most the second half is "mean Roy". He's getting the ball at point blank range. Tell him you can't dunk it, you don't shoot it. Just go up strong and dunk the dang ball. No more missed two foot hook shots.

I think a lot of the problem we have with Hibbert and his low post game is that he is not smooth and graceful. He appears awkward in his motion going into his hook shot. I guess in this game that's why I would just like to see him go over Lopez and attempt to dunk it.

I think Hills more consistent play may fit more with what the Pacers are trying to do. Lance is still a huge question mark. Of course if Lance continues his development you are right. But if his development is hampered I think Hill would be more important by a fair margin.

I don't know, it's really hard to say. Especially at the time we signed Hill to that contract. I mean at that point we weren't even sure Lance was going to be on the roster the next season, let alone becoming a key cog for a title contending team. We knew what we had in Hill. Lance was (and still is, to some extent) a wildcard.
